Seen these on the MRT lately?

TRAIN passengers travelling on the North East Line (NEL) in recent weeks would have noticed something new during their commute.
Nearly all NEL train carriages now have octagonal overhead handrails installed, providing passengers with more handholds.
Frequent NEL commuters whom My Paper spoke to yesterday said they noticed the new handrails on the trains in the past month or so.
A check with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) revealed that 23 of the 25 NEL trains have been equipped with the additional handrails.
The last two trains will be fitted with the handrails in the next two weeks.
This is part of the LTA's move, which was announced in February, to facilitate boarding and spread passengers more uniformly in train carriages.
To be completed by the middle of next year, the initiative involves adding handrails, and removing grab poles at the centre of the train-door area, to enable passengers to get in and out of a train more easily.
Modifications are being made on trains of the North South East West Lines (NSEWL) and Circle Line (CCL) to add two rows of overhead handrails between the seats, in addition to the existing handrails in the centre.
The changes have been made on 33 of the 40 CCL trains so far, with work on the NSEWL trains starting this month.
The NEL trains are getting the octagonal handrails to avoid blocking covers located in the ceiling of the carriages - where train equipment is located - which are accessed regularly during maintenance, explained an LTA spokesman.
Many commuters welcomed the unique design and functionality of the octagonal handrails.
Mr Sugan Ranasamy, 21, a full-time national serviceman, believed they are more accessible and will be better "for the elderly" than the three-horizontal-handrail design for trains on the other lines, because of the octagonal handrails' layout.
"The other train lines should adopt this shape as well," he added.

Retiree K. L. Leow, 67, said that the octagonal shape helps "spread the crowd (out) a bit more".
The centre overhead handrails in the carriage of a NEL train can have 30 handholds attached. But the three octagonal bars that can be found in a carriage add another 24 handholds.

However, some people had reservations about the octagonal handrails. For example, a 1.83m-tall commuter remarked on citizen-journalism website Stomp that he had hit his head against such a handrail.

My Paper understands that the handrails are 1.84m above the carriage floor.
Said 15-year-old student Kam Jia Juo: "People who are using the new handrails may obstruct passengers who are getting up from their seats."

Review: Ogio Chamber Golf Bag

April 5, 2012 - You and your partner strap the golf bags onto the back of the golf cart, climb into the driver and passenger seats, and hit the accelerate pedal. What do you hear? Clanging and clacking, tinking and plinking, as the clubs in your golf bags are jostled around and bang into each other. And if you happen to hit a bump? Cover your ears.
Maybe the noise of your clubs crashing against each other bothers you. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe you've never really thought about it.
But if you are a golfer who hates that noise - who wishes there was a way to keep your clubs secure and stationary, not to mention quiet, on cart rides - there's a new bag for you.

Silencer Club Protection System

The Ogio Chamber cart bag is the first made with what Ogio calls the "Silencer Club Protection System." Ogio promises that the Chamber will keep your clubs quiet on those cart rides, and after testing the bag we say the Chamber passes with flying colors. The Chamber silences your clubs with top and bottom security: The bag's 14-way top has 14 individual compartments, each with a membrane that centers the club and holds it in place. Inside the bottom of the bag is the Silencer base, which grabs hold of the grip-end of your clubs. Insert a club through the top membrane, and then push it down into the base. You'll feel the grip end of the club pop into place in the Silencer base.
At that point, the club is secure. You can turn the bag upside down (we did) and the clubs won't budge. We even gave the bag a little shake while upside down; still, no clubs dislodged. (Just make sure each club is pressed down completely into the base, otherwise they will come loose.)
And the clubheads also stay in place. Arrange the clubs around the top, toes of the clubs all pointing the same direction, and the clubs will stay in that position during the cart ride.
So the Ogio Chamber's Silencer technology really does work as well as Ogio claims. Pretty nifty.

Other Ogio Chamber Pros and Cons

But the Ogio Chamber is a good, solid golf bag beyond the Silencer technology. It has an attractive, compact look for a cart bag, with a zipperless ball pocket, outside tee holes, and pockets that are all easily accessible even when the bag is strapped to the cart. We also loved the design and positioning of the handles, especially around the bag top. Nearly the entire top is available as a hand-hold, which makes handling the bag a breeze.
Any drawbacks? New technology is often pricey, and the Ogio Chamber, which went on sale in January 2012, was introduced with a $300 price tag.
And the Silencer technology does require pushing down on the club to pop it into place; and the golfer does need to give the club a little tug to remove one from the bag. The amount of effort is minimal; not a big deal for the vast majority of golfers and not something that bothered us in the least. However, we can imagine some golfers with shoulder, elbow or arm pain, or general weakness in those areas, wanting to try the Ogio Chamber in a pro shop first before buying one.
Overall, our reaction to the Ogio Chamber, and especially is Silencer technology, is strongly positive.
